Janie Jones

Description
13-year-old girl Janie is abandoned by her meth-addicted former-groupie mother, after she informs her father, Ethan Brand, a fading rock star, right when he and his band are on the comeback trail that Janie is his daughter, and he is not happy about it.

The indie road movie "Janie Jones" is billed as "inspired by the true story" of its writer-director, David M. Rosenthal. Impossible. No one's life is this boring.
